London, Jan 25 (AFP): England pace bowler Chris Tremlett has been given an incremental contract for the 2010-11 season after his fine performances against Australia helped retain the Ashes.
After being cast into the international wilderness for several years, Tremlett took his chance following Stuart Broad's injury in Australia.
The 29-year-old Surrey star took 17 wickets in the final three Tests as England completed a 3-1 Ashes victory over their old rivals.
Incremental contracts are awarded on a points basis. Five points are awarded for a Test cap and two for a one-day international or Twenty20 appearance. Any player who accrues 20 points automatically earns a contract.
And Tremlett's appearances in the three one-day internationals in the current series against Australia, allied to his Ashes outings, put him beyond that threshold.
ECB national selector Geoff Miller said: "The selectors are delighted with the contribution Chris has made in both forms of the game."
"His return of 17 wickets from three Test Matches in Australia was an outstanding effort and he can be very proud of the role he played in helping the team retain the Ashes."
